39 Ford Rear hub fitment
The rear hub nut, etc for securing the drum at 200ft lb also comes with a fibre washer the sits in the spigot before fitting washer and nut.
Is it really necessary to use this fibre washer? What does it actually do? Thanks Phil NZ |

It's a seal; any oil migrating down the keyway for example, can go no further.

There's no real torque on that fiber grease seal. It sits tucked into a pocket that allows it to be compressed just enough to provide the seal.

Re: 39 Ford Rear hub fitment
You can cut one as simple from stock stuff also. Felt is not hard to find. Agreed it's not that hard line. thin felt. Wouldn't worry about it. These cars need attention. You'll be checking it every spring anyway.

Re: 39 Ford Rear hub fitment
You can make one from an old leather belt.
